His (8)
On the table in the courtyard, the white cat lay quietly on it, its long tail curled into a ball.
Du Shiling stood beside him, one hand still on the white cat's head and stroked expressionlessly.
It feels very good to the hand, warmer than velvet, and it can warm your hands when you touch it in winter.
Du San walked in with the cage, opened the cage and stepped aside.
Du Bi followed and also came in, and as soon as she saw the white cat crawling on the table, her eyes were instantly attracted.
"Brother, do you want to get this cat?"
Du Shiling nodded, followed by a hand grabbed the back of the white cat's neck, and easily put it into the cage, the white cat in his hand from beginning to end did not struggle or bark, well-behaved like a rag doll.
Du Bi was even more moved when he saw it.
"Brother, do you know how to raise a cat?"
"I don't know."
"You'll have to put a warm blanket in there, or it'll freeze to death if it's so cold outside."
When Du Shiling heard this, a thoughtful touch crossed her eyes.
"Cats have hair, and they are afraid of the cold?"
"Of course I'm afraid, I pay attention to food and housing, and if I don't raise it well, it's easy to die."
Du Bi knew that Du Shiling hated trivial and troublesome things the most on weekdays, so he thought about dispelling his idea of raising a cat.
Du Shiling, who didn't think about it, spoke indifferently, raised his hand and closed the cage.
"Dead is dead."
It was a cold day, and this sentence made people feel even more cold.
Du San looked at Du Bi silently and said in a low voice.
"It's okay, the master has a hard mouth and a soft heart, this white cat won't die."
Miss Fifth likes small animals, and there are a lot of cats, dogs, and rabbits in the yard.
But there is no way, how can it be the turn of someone else to take the turn of what the master likes.
Du Bi reluctantly looked at the white cat in the cage, and finally told Du San.
"You'll have to put a blanket on it, or you're going to freeze to death."
"Okay, I got it."
Du San sighed helplessly.
Countless people have frozen to death outside these years, and it is too normal for a cat to freeze to death.
However, since it is also a blessing to be favored by the master, as long as it stays in the Du family, the master will never treat it badly.
It snowed heavily in Lincheng that night, and Du Shiling set off to the Chamber of Commerce before dinner and stayed until nearly early in the morning before returning home.
The driver turned on the headlights, and a goose-feather snow fell from the sky, spreading a thick layer on the ground.
"Hey......"
A low sigh came out almost subconsciously.
The next second, the driver was a little flustered, for fear that he would spoil the boss's mood.
Unexpectedly, Du Shiling, who was sitting in the back, took the initiative to ask.
"Sigh what?"
"That is, thinking that the snow has been non-stop, the crops in the field have been frozen, and it is estimated that many people will starve to death this year."
The fertile land in the countryside is all owned by the big landlords, and if the harvest is not good, the peasants will not have much left after handing over the grain, and maybe some people's harvest will not be enough to pay the grain.
Du Shiling listened silently, turned her face to look out the window at the pitch black, and her cold and indifferent eyes couldn't set off the slightest wave.
Along the way, the driver stopped talking and steadily parked the car at the gate of the side yard.
After getting out of the car, Du Shiling put on his hat and strode into the yard, the wind and snow behind him were blocked by the high-walled compound, and the maid guarding the door was shivering from the cold.
Du San had been guarding the main courtyard, and when he saw that the master was back, he stepped forward.
"I prepared a bowl of black chicken soup for you, and I warmed up my body after drinking."
Du Shiling took off her hat, dusted off the snowflakes on her body, and was just about to lift her feet into the house when she remembered something temporarily, and took a step back to look at a corner of the wall.
"What about cats?"
"It's too cold outside, so I let people send the cat to the kitchen, and soon after you left, Miss Five gave it a bath, you didn't see it, the cat was white like snow outside, there was no miscellaneous hair, and the two eyeballs were still different colors, like glass beads, round and bright."
Du Shiling listened silently, the maid behind him helped him take off his coat and leather shoes, and Du San skillfully took off the watch in his hand and gently put it in the drawer.
As is customary, the master should go to bed after taking a shower, and occasionally look at the ledger and contracts.
But this time, Du Shiling didn't rush to take a bath, but told Du San to bring the cat in the kitchen.
When the cage was brought in, Du San was afraid of soiling the carpet, so he wrapped the base of the cage with a piece of cotton cloth and followed the round table in front of Du Shiling.
The white cat in the cage was already asleep, its thin body curled up in a ball, revealing only the tips of its soft white ears.
"This cat has a big heart, and he didn't wake up when he brought it all the way."
Du Shiling took a look, and saw that the cat was much whiter than the one she had seen before, and from a distance, it looked like a ball of warm snow, and its slightly swollen little belly fell together, and even if the man had already put his hand on its head, he had no intention of waking up.
After bathing, the white cat's hair will become more and more fluffy and soft, gently put your hand on it, you feel that the palm is full of fine and soft touch, especially the fur near the belly is more soft, people can't help but increase the strength of the hand.
Du Shiling's arm reached through the cage mouth, stroking the white cat's head, and the slender fingers also paid special attention to its small ears, and the tips of the ears shook sensitively every time they touched it gently, flexible and cute.
Seeing that this little thing could still sleep under his hands, Du Shiling patted its head a little harder.
Sure enough, the white cat woke up, lazily and slowly raised his head and opened his eyes, the beautiful heterochromatic pupils were slightly dilated, and after seeing the person who was petting, he arched the man's palm with his head, and the cat meow that came out was still a little hoarse.
"Meow~"
"You've never heard it bark when you're away, and you don't know it's a dumb cat."
The man curled the corners of his lips, the strength of his hands decreased slightly, his five fingers buried in the snow-white hair and stroked back and forth, and a low snoring sound sounded faintly in the quiet room.
Du Shiling was still a little puzzled, seeing that the little thing under his hand squinted his eyes at some point, and his nose made a sound similar to that of a bellows, low and shallow, not only did it not sound noisy, but it made him feel a little bit of rare relief.
After stroking for about ten minutes, Du Shiling withdrew her hand and closed the cage again.
"Offer to go."
"Well, then you have a good rest after drinking the chicken soup."
The white cat in the cage opened its eyes and looked at Du Shiling quietly and obediently, until Du San lifted it out of the room.
Du Shiling lay on the bed after taking a bath, and was about to close her eyes to sleep, but the hand on her chest subconsciously swung up and down, the soft touch remaining in the palm of her hand had not faded, and the fingertip that was licked seemed to be able to feel the crispy numbness.
